A fingerprint reader captures an image of a person's fingerprint and converts the unique patterns into a digital code. When a person places their finger on the reader, it compares the captured fingerprint with stored fingerprint patterns to verify identity. If the patterns match, access is granted.
Fingerprints are unique to each individual and can be matched through a process called Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). The system compares the ridge patterns and minutiae points in the fingerprint found at the crime scene with those of a suspect to identify a match. Forensic experts analyze the similarities in the patterns and points to confirm a fingerprint match.

Biometric fingerprint recognition is a technology that identifies individuals based on unique patterns in their fingerprints. It is commonly used for security purposes to grant access or authenticate a person's identity. Fingerprint recognition systems capture and analyze fingerprint images to match with stored data for verification.

The type of identification method that classifies fingerprints using mathematical models is called automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS). AFIS uses algorithms to analyze unique fingerprint patterns and match them against a database for identification purposes.

Fingerprint matches are determined by comparing the unique patterns of ridges, loops, and whorls on a fingerprint found at a crime scene with a known fingerprint in a database. Experts analyze these patterns to see if there is a sufficient level of similarity and agreement between the two prints to establish a match. This process, called automated fingerprint identification, is highly accurate and widely used in forensic investigations.
The three main forensic databases are CODIS (Combined DNA Index System), AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System), and IAFIS (Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System). These databases are used by law enforcement agencies to store and match DNA profiles and fingerprints from crime scenes and individuals.
